5. Getting to hear the sweet sound of my fake niece when I was talking to her mom on the phone. Fake niece? You know, when your best friend has a baby, and the baby is real, but you aren't really her aunt biologically speaking? That is a fake niece.

Your interview was great, Tracie. Good for you! I love that picture of your daughter...those eyes of hers are gorgeous. She looks around the same age as my daughter so I know what you mean about the smile every day. What a blessing! That is a fantastic photo of the tree. I love it!
